Clear analysis for decisions that depend on data
Squillions prepares economic assessments, official-data analysis, forecasts, data tools, assumption reviews and evidence plans for decisions that need traceable numbers.
Economics
Economic and socio-economic assessment
Analysis of benefits, costs, jobs, local effects and uncertainty. This includes reports for planning, investment, growth, regional development and policy decisions.
- economic impact assessment
- local value added and employment analysis
- regional and sector assessment
- clear treatment of what is new activity and what may shift from elsewhere
Data
Official-data analysis
Finding, checking and explaining data from public agencies, councils, administrative records, dashboards and custom extracts.
- source review and data cleaning
- source inventories and audit trails
- matching data to the policy question
- clear notes on data limits
- data tables that decision-makers can read
Modelling
Forecasting and scenario testing
Models that show what may happen under different assumptions. The aim is to show the uncertainty clearly and explain what changes the answer.
- population, economic and demand projections
- alternative-case testing
- growth assumptions
- plain notes on confidence and limits
Tools
Data tools and dashboards
Web-based tools and repeatable outputs that help clients explore data, compare places, track change and brief non-technical audiences.
- interactive data tools
- regional profiles
- monitoring reports
- report-ready tables and figures
- data outputs that can be maintained over time
Policy evidence
Data needs and evidence reviews
Work that turns policy questions into practical evidence needs. This is useful when the issue is known but the data pathway is not yet clear.
- evidence plans
- policy data requirements
- review of available sources
- advice on what can and cannot be answered
Review
Model checking and assumptions review
Independent checking of models, calculations and assumptions. This is useful when a result will be tested by a client, funder, regulator, board or panel.
- calculation review
- assumption testing
- sensitivity checks
- plain-English review notes
How the work usually runs
Start with the decision, then build the evidence
1. Start with the decision
Clarify what the client needs to decide, do or understand.
2. Find and test the evidence
Identify the data, check source limits, and separate official evidence from assumptions.
3. Build the model or analysis
Create the analysis needed for the decision, then test what changes the result.
4. Explain what it means
Write reports, briefings or tools that help decision-makers use the evidence.
Some projects need specialist input, such as legal advice, survey fieldwork, engineering, planning or subject-matter review. Squillions adds that input when the project needs it, while keeping the evidence trail and modelling assumptions clear.
